just wondering how many people out there shop at the GREAT
WAL MART
ohh man walmart sucks, not even getting started on their horrible business practices… they just suck as a store.
Not that i am unbiased seeing as i work at the great mighty red bullseye:) but walmart does suck, always dirty, cranky people, aisles are way to narrow, stock all over, messy, forget that stuff.
I’d rather show at kmart then walmart, but a super target trumps them all!
I’d select the “oh man… I wouldn’t buy junk there with your money” option.
Super Target has better sales
I’d shop at Ames
Whats that place
A de-funked department store. They went bankrupt in 2002. I worked there for 2 years in H.S.
I went to college and they called it quits.
I never used to shop at walmart. But when I came up to Williamsport for college I started to shop there, because I know that I can find what I am looking for there. I don’t know where else to find some things.
I wouldn’t spend a dime in Walmart.
Walmart is bad, very bad. I refuse to step foot in that place.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
There was a thread here on chiefdelphi a few days ago about “Home Depot” … and basically the ones who posted in that thread said, “there is no point of bashing at some store, and this is not the place to do it either.” I feel like that, this thread is putting Walmart down. There are atleast 2, 3 negative posts about Walmart in this thread.
Now back to the topic,
What I think is, Walmart has its advantages and disadvantages. But it is always depending on what you are looking for. For example, There were several times I stopped by Walmart in the morning to get packs of gums.
-Arefin.
Its a free market…if they have it for less, i’ll buy it.
I do go to Walmart depending on what I need especially since there’s one located only two miles from where I work.
Just two weeks ago they came in real handy. I was driving to work in the snowstorm and the drivers side windshield wiper on my Camry suddenly folded flat against the windshield. When I stopped to look at it the plastic clip that holds it on cracked so I stopped at Walmart and bought new wipers in the morning before work so I could at least see on the way home without having to lean over and look out the passengers side.
I also bought a coffee maker, the filters for it, and coffee. It comes in handy for our late night team meetings!
I used to never go to Wal-Mart.
Unfortunately, the siren song of low prices lured my broke college student self to them.
…and does everyone hit a massive line at the checkout, or is that just my store?
Usually, if I can get what I need somewhere else, I will. But since moving to Houghton, there’s not much of a choice. We have …
Walmart (soon to be a Super Walmart)
Shopko
Jim’s (liquor store)
Econo Foods
Festival Foods
A small mall (JCP, bookstore, Bath and Body Works, sports shop, Cost Cutters)
… and some restaurants. But as far as shopping goes, that’s it. You can either shop at Walmart (sometimes Shopko, but it closes at 8 pm) or take a whole day to drive to and from a decent sized city.

Oh, I didn’t choose an option on the poll. If I were to choose one, it would say, “I do shop at Walmart, but I’d rather shop somewhere else.”
Same here. Cheap = good when you have no money … and yes, I hit the big line at checkout too.
Walmart: Always low prices, Always long lines.
Woo-Hoo.
Katie is now a Michigander. It’s a proud and reputable thing. We even have our own speak - and we love it!
But I shop at Wal-Mart. Rember the bins of 2003? Where do you think I got ALL of them at? Their prices are good - and the one over here in the Taylor area is kept really clean/decent people/and the asles are bigger. Now K-Mart - I’ll never go in there. Rude, not clean, just all-around bad.
Not that I’d know; the K-Mart in my town closed two years ago because of Super Wal-Mart. Of course, it also broke up Dillions’ monopoly on groceries, so nobody really misses K-Mart.
Haha, I was born in and lived in Michigan 'til I was 7 … Not only do we have “Michigan speak” up here (from all the trolls :p) we have “Yooper speak” as well!! ((And no matter how long I live in Michigan, it’ll still be soda, not pop!!!)) We’re using a whole week in my Language & Society class to talk about the differences in speech between Lower Michigan, the UP and Wisconsin.
Same here!! I had bad K-Mart experiences when I was a kid. The K-Mart (in Midland, MI) was so gross and dirty … ew. Then, we moved to Appleton, WI and had dirty K-marts; they all closed 5 years after we moved. Now, I won’t shop there (though my mom swears that the K-Marts in Brookfield, WI are clean!!) :yikes:
As a college student i also shop at the super walmart, but you will never catch me in there atleast before 3am becasue i cant stand the amount of people there durint the day. So i will usually do my shopping there when i get off at work at 3
Every now and then I will go to Wal-Mart.
